BAPTISM

The Sacrament of Baptism

The baptismal covenant involves the promises and responsibilities of the church, the baptized, and the family of the baptized. As United Methodists, we believe in baptizing all ages. Baptism is grounded in the life and death of Jesus Christ, and is an initiation into Christ’s Holy Church. An excellent overview of the sacrament can be found here:

If you are not an active member of our church (as evidenced by your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness), then a mandatory two hour baptism class is required. In 2017, the following classes and baptism Sundays are offered:

If you are an active member (as evidenced by your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness), then please contact the church office to make an appointment with the pastor to schedule your baptism.
